Schadenfreude is defined as finding joy in other people’s suffering. What Maxx Crosby wants for the Kansas City Chiefs is far from that.
Some might think that his wish for the Chiefs is because of him being a part of the AFC West. However, he makes it painfully clear for everyone who would take the time to listen that his reasons for backing the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII are selfish and very representative of the Las Vegas Raiders mindset.
Maxx Crosby wants Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LVIII so they can beat them
NFL.com’s Erid Edholm wrote about the Las Vegas pass rusher’s wishes to see his fierce rivals lift the Lombardi trophy. It sounds jarring for Raiders fans, but his reason for picking them should make them jump for joy:
“Selfishly, I want the Chiefs to win so we can be the ones to take them down and take them off that pedestal,” Crosby told NFL Network’s Andrew Siciliano and Brian Baldinger on Wednesday.
When football fans usually talk about their rival teams, they always pray for their downfall. One can only imagine the joy fans AFC East teams not named the New England Patriots felt when Tom Brady left Foxborough.
However, that’s not how Crosby rolls. He claims to have huge respect for Patrick Mahomes, Chris Jones, and the rest of the Kansas City Chiefs offense and want to take them down at their best. It’s his competitive drive that makes him beloved within the Raiders fanbase.
He believes that the team will be in top shape to take down the Chiefs a peg or two come 2024, believing in head coach Antonio Pierce’s coaching philosophy:
“So when he got announced as the head coach, he came in, he kept it straightforward, (saying) this is how we’re going to win, this is how we’re going to play, it’s going to sound different, it’s going to look different, and everybody bought in to it, and that’s the product that everybody got to see,” he said.
Of course, anyone can talk in the NFL. However, the truth of the matter is they haven’t beaten the Kansas City Chiefs ever since they moved to Allegiant Stadium in 2020. They’re also playing for the Lombardi on their stomping grounds.
Crosby and the rest of the Raiders need to step it up if they want to pull the rug underneath their feet.
